2015 Cubs-Related Trade Deadline Rumor Thread

[Lefty]

This is like being on Ebay.

Astros out, Yankees not hearing back. Who else is in the mix?

Bowden fell for the same tweet on the air! It was glorious

Can confirm that doesn't work.

Boston was mentioned, but I'm pretty sure Cubs are favorites at this point.

Padres, I imagine.

Hmm Cubs have 'light interest' in Chase Utley. Interesting

 

Edit: nvm just looked at his stats this year, jesus christ

[CincyCubsFan]

LOL Levine just reported the fake Cespedes trade.

[Andy]

That's a hard no on Utley, thanks.

[Outshined_One]

The choice is between Gyorko and Utley?

 

Barrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrf

[CincyCubsFan]

Wait...ESPN just announced it too...

Levine is claiming his own sources, not just passing along the fake tweet.

That's a hard no on Utley, thanks.

 

He was really really good last year. Might be worth seeing if we can Edmonds him.

[shnsajax]

Baez will outhit Utley in two weeks.

[Guest]

The problem with Utley is he's very likely to vest at like a bajillion dollars for next year. That and he might be toast, but there's hope there.

Which would be paid by the Phillies. Ain't nobody trading for him if not.

Eh, maybe. Without doing any research at all, it feels like middle infielders don't tend to get it back once they lose it. Although Utley's peripherals aren't spectacularly different than last year. So who knows.

[Clem Fandango]

Normally I'd point to a criminally low BABIP with Utley, but his other peripherals all indicate he's probably actually this bad...
